Hi,

I purchased HTC Touch Pro (US Cellular CDMA). I want to use it with Mumbai MTNL Garuda Mobile Phone service in Mumbai, India.

I don't know much of cell phone flashing and reading web pages would like to get this done.

1) How do I check my phone needs what ROM and which one is it already using ? I assume ROM is like BIOS and windows mobile is like win xp os. So installing ROM will not affect windows mobile. do I have to flash rom for a specific carrier\service provider ?

2) How do I check whether my phone in unlocked since this is CDMA and has no sim card ? In ebay ad said it was unlocked.

3) How do I find roms for "mumbai garuda mtnl". You can google the quoted string for information on service provider. I don't see much helpful info on site and the service provider is not helping. It is open to questions if I have any so let me know if you want me to ask them. can one check compatibility between US cellular and MTNL garuda mobile cdma network so I know I can use the phone.

4) Please enumerate high level steps with some pointers for me to follow through the install process.

5) is the handset supporting 3G since I see its network specs as:

Network US cellular:

Dual-band (800/1900MHz), CDMA2000 1xEVDO Rev. A/1xRTT and IS-95A/B voice or data with up to 1.8 Mbps up-link and 3.1 Mbps down-link

MTNL Garuda mobile network is CDMA-1x. Another MTNL 3G Jadoo is 3G (WCDMA, HSDPA).

so compatibility wise can I use the US cellular handset on MTNL ?

CDDMA-1x and CDMA2000 1xRTT are same so I suppose handset should be usable.

6) when switching carrier is it simple as registering your new handset with new carrier ? is there standard process for it like call in their network using some special number and type in your existing number which you have with their network. ex. if I have 20337444 number on MTNL network then on HTC Touch Pro I dial in some special number for MTNL network and then key in my existing 20337444. This will register the ESN on their network and I am all set.

7) the MTNL guy said that first check if dialing *228 gives you MTNL network. If so then go to customer service and get more help. When I dail I don't think it does any thing. It gives 3 beeps and returns to home screen.

Additional info MTNL gave was they use channels primary 185 and secondary 226. I am not sure what these channels mean.

i dont beleive you have to flash any specific rom to get your carrier to work, but you will have to google for "carrier cabs" + your provider name to find what will work for you

to see if your phone is unlocked take the back off the phone, pull the battery, and then put the battery back in, hold the volume down button and press power till the phone turns on, i beleive it will say something like "security unlocked" if the phone is unlocked, after you check that just pull the battery and put it back in once again and start up your phone to get back into windows mobile(not holding the volume down button this time)

as far as roms for the mtnl garuda, any rom will work, i reccommend the energyrom, google energyroms.com, cdma seems to be cdma anywhere you are, if it says cdma it should work in theory

your handset will support 3g, the us cellular version of touch pro supports 3g

for the mtnl garuda carrier to support your phone, you will have to see if they will accept your meid or esn under the battery, here in the USA verizon wont accept sprint esns, and vice versa

sorry i cant be more helpful, but hopefully somewhere through this i have helped you, good luck!
[Touch Pro CDMA] khabri:
thanks for reply. I searched for "carrier cabs mtnl garuda" but no good results.

I learned from specs the model is RAHP800. does it mean that it will not work on MTNL garuda ?
[Touch Pro CDMA] khabri:
MTNL garuda CDMA carrier cabs

Hi,

can some one provide carrier cabs for MTNL garuda CDMA (no RUIM) along with install instructions. would be nice if you have activation instructions. how do I get *228 to connect me to MTNL network ?
[Touch Pro CDMA] whoshotjr2006:
a touch pro 800 is the sprint cdma touch pro, and about the cabs sorry man i have no idea, usually when i call boost mobile to activate a new phone i provide them with my numbers from underneath the battery, and they will give me the msl code to enter epst and change the msid and mdn, maybe you could call your carrier and ask for the msid and mdn? as far as getting your msl code, as long as you have the microsoft .net cf 3.5 cab installed on your phone you can use a program called "baf msl grabber" to get that code

good luck, hope you figure something out, and if you need anything else feel free to contact me
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
Do you know anyone else with a TP runnon that same network? Maybe you can get some files from their phone.
[Touch Pro CDMA] khabri:
the terms you used are new to me like "msl code to enter epst and change the msid and mdn".

You state "msl code to enter epst and change the msid and mdn," and use "baf msl grabber" to get that code. The MTNL garuda mumbai service folks I talked to are not willing to give any details. They in fact are just not supporting any handset other than what they provide. Now they are discontinuing new cdma handsets which are not using RUIM card (they say its similar to sim card).

can you guide me to some article which has instructions and explanation of various steps we might take to get things done like ones we have on eHow.com.

Regards,
[Touch Pro CDMA] khabri:
I do not know of any such user. can you guide me to simple article which expalins the steps involved in doing any programming / install of cabs etc. I have not much idea about cdma programming.

Regards,
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
Installing carrier cabs and flashing roms wont make the phone work on the network you want it to. The first thing you need is to change the PRL on the device to one that works with your carrier. This a file file you may be able to download, or get it from someone elses phone who uses the same carrier. After that, you will need to program all your info into it, MDN, ect. Then hopefully your carrier will even allow the ESN on their network. Did you say this was a US Cellular device?
[Touch Pro CDMA] khabri:
Hi,

I learned from service provider that need to disable PRL and then use programming code so can feed in information. So for US Cellular HTC Touch PRO CDMA (no sim/ruim) can one provide programming code\dial codes ?

Do I need activation code in order to be able to enter into programming mode ?

Here is some reference for it: http://support.sprint.com/support/a...e-vw371511-20090807-140419?&INTNAV=SU:DP:HDIB

I would like to program my phone and when I dial ##778# and make a call it just ends. I am not sure how to enter the progam mode. Please guide.
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
There isn't a master list or anything like that. I used to flash phones to cricket and the 2 TPs I've flashed from us cellular were problematic. Could have been a coincidence. You need to obtain the PRL.
[Touch Pro CDMA] khabri:
HTC Touch Pro unlock and program code

Hi,

I dialed ##000000 and it now put me into EPST (Activation Wizard(MSL)) screen. I guess I have made some progress and I see MDN, MSID, Home SID/NID #1.

It seems all sprint code listed here http://www.pcoperative.com/ppc/htc_tp_dial_codes.htm

works just that no need to key in ending # for each code.

Well how to check that phone is unlocked. I dialed ##775 to update PRL and it prompted me for unlock code.

I purchased phone from ebay and the ad mentioned that its unlocked.

is unlock code same as SPC/MSL unlock code ?

I went into bootloader and it shows Security Unlocked.

Why does it prompt me for unlock code when I go to ##775 to update PRL ? what to do so I can disable PRL ?

Few other codes like ##DEBUG and Advanced EPST show me information fine without prompting for any unlock code.

Regards,
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
You haven't made any progress at all unfortunately, you still need the prl. Any codes you enter that allow you to MODIFY phone settings will require an unlock code.

Hi,

This may be out of date.. but I am using MDJ's Cyanogenmod 7. Everything except wired headset controls are working fine.. when connected the music plays fine but the control buttons do not work.. even the headset microphone doesn't work during calls.. and as I could see, many ppl have faced this problem..

I have searched over the internet for the solution but the only one which seems to work 5 out of 10 times is to change the kernel. I am a newbie when it comes to changing kernels. I was wondering if any of the prestegious xda Devs have any solid solution to this. I tried to search for MDJ's original posts but it says that I am not authorized to view the thread. Infact none of MDJ threads are accessible to me..

Looking for the devs to help me out of this..

Thanks in Advance

Malay
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DannyBiker:
It is out of date indeed. Try flashing a recent ROM, pretty much all the newest kernels have headset support now.

Oh and expect to see your thread move to the Android Q&A section, this is a ROM only section...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jayy_Suave:
Yes, this thread will be moved. But until then, one of the best Kernels at the time is RAFPIGNA 1.7OC which supports the headsets. Either flash this kernel or switch to a ROM that has it pre-installed.

The kernel can be found in this thread.

Could it be? Apparently the Japanese version is listed as 1GB. See Xperia Blog for article.
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
It won't affect me so much whether it was 320 MB or 1 GB, because in the end I'm going to use app2SD to store my apps and everything. But I think the final version will have 1 GB

we'll have to wait and see
[Xperia Arc General] SEFanX10i:
Just because the Japanese version comes with 1 gb ROM does not mean that the international version will as well. The Japanese version is slightly different than the international arc.
[Xperia Arc General] iead1:
It doesn't come with 1GB. Here's a picture I took tonight:
[Xperia Arc General] SEFanX10i:
So that means Arc has 320mb TOTAL internal storage and not 320mb free left to user.

Hmmmmmmm
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
Doesn't matter to me, never used the internal memory in my entire life except with X10 due to 2.1 not supporting app2SD. So I can live with it

Hi.

i recently rooted my work phone (ION , kind of like sapphire ,1.6).

Rooting was done by using the canyongen mod recovery image to load the device in recovery mode , backuup the original system image , change the default property ro.secure=0 and then flashing the system.img again to the rom.

So basically i didn't really change the original rom (thanks to Amon Ra in some post here in XDA).

I wanted to gain root access inside android apps and couldn't, short test shows no su or sudu executable exists on the device, even though when i'm not root and typing su ro sudo i get permission denied....

I never cmopiled anything for arm processor, i do have the source code checked out (for donut) but i'm not sure how can i compile the su (anyone knows which linux package contains it ? ) and if i need to twik it.

I'm not sure that in such a sensative pieace of software i can count on internet ready made builds.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
Hi,

I'm starting playing with my Nook and have some problem with Market. Each time i try downloading an application it says "Download unsessfull".

I had some problems yesterday trying to use the CWR to make backup, so it can be related..

I don't know what can be related to this so i try to remember all things i done:

- A Nook, unboxed then updated to 1.1

- Rooted using Autonooter 3.0

- At this point Market was working, ie: i downloaded go launcher ex.

- I installed Rom manager and apply cwr (choosed Nook (new), i think it was the mistake)

- rebooted to recovery, i wanted to save the system before trying to apply kernel patch (OC and better touch responsiveness)

- failed to backup the system (it say's can't mount /system)

- So i tried to reboot, it reboot back to recovery each time.

- Panic mode (i'm not linux, recovery or other underground android fluent :)

- I think a tried the wrong buttons : clear dalvik, i think i clicked "wipe cache partition". Don't think i tried other button, not sure..

- Light back to brain and started searching real solutions

- Wana try the 8 fail solutions, but failed to do that (i don't want to lose against nook :)

- I installed zip from card: clorkwork-removal

- Nook back to laucher :)

- At this point i installed some app from elsewhere than Market, i played a little with spare parts i think. When a tried to install from market it didn't work.

- Try to clear market app cache, doesn't change anything.

Sorry if it was a long read, but i think that maximum informations can help you to help me :)

Oh, Youtube don't lauch anymore too (but that was before the cwr misadventure)

Thank you,

David

ps: sorry about my english

Try using titanium backup to clear data for google framework and market. Also make sure your wireless isn't blocking any traffic. This happens to me on my work network sometimes.
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
if i don't have titanium (no market at all..) the clear data from google framework is similar to that (found in another thread)?

i give it a try.

is it the "google apps" one in applications list?
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
So it is not the google apps.. i try to update the market to 2.2.6. Search works but download doesnt start at all..

anybody has can hint me about this google framework..
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
Double post..
[Nook Color General] crispian:
I was in the same situation- I also have an NC, 1.1.0, autonootered 3.0.0 and I installed ROM Manager (v3.0.1.0) from the market and used it to install CWM 3.0.0.6 by choosing "Nook Color" rather than "Nook Color (old)" at Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I then did the reboot before rebooting into recovery and then wiped the cache and tried to wipe the Davlik cache, but every time I chose that it just went back to the same menu without doing anything. I then flashed Dalingrin's OC kernel and it seemed to work fine- SetCPU allowed me to OC up to 1100. BUT I lost access to the Market- everything I tried to install came back "Download Unsuccessful".

I finally, after much reading, removing CWM and reinstalling it 2 or 3 times etc. tried choosing "Nook Color (old)". This installed CWM 3.0.0.5 which DID let me wipe the Davlik cache and then when I installed the OC kernel it worked and I could download from the Market again.

So I would get yourself back to just a rooted nook (using clockwork removal if necessary). Then use ROM Manager to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery, but make sure to choose "Nook Color (old)". Then make sure to reboot (power off and back on you NC) and go to ROM Manager and reboot into recovery. Once there wipe the cache then go to "Advanced" and wipe the Davlik cache (I think this is the crucial part). After this I went ahead and flashed the OC kernel, but you could just reboot and hopefully you'll have access to the Market again like I did.

Good luck!

Clear maket and framework data and cache... It's been posted hundreds of times...

Thank crispian. I will try after work..

Is there a chance that the google framework is missing?

I can see this framework on my phone, not on my nook.. What can i do please?

first thing tonight: i will check if GoogleServicesFramework.apk exists in system/app
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
Back, tonight was movie night with my girlfirend.. So i didn't played with my nook..

This morning i used rootexplorer to check if there was a GoogleServicesFramework.apk in system/app. It was not.

I tried to disable More locale app (it used to translate the devices texts in french) hope that "google framework" was baddly translated in app list..

Can someone confirm that the "google framework" i'm looking is the "GoogleServicesFramework.apk", and where is it on the nook? If missing, can i just put it with root explorer? Can the "clockwork removal" have beeing a cause on it's vanish?

Next time i have time i will try the Crispian Solution too..
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Look for googleframework services in titanium backup. Select it and a little window pops up with options to uninstall and such. There is a button on the right that says wipe data. You can do the same for the Market.
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
As i said, googleframework service is not in titanium backup list..

I will try the CWR method asap.
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
grmph, tried to wipe dalvik and partition cache using working recovery.

Didn't work ..

i mean market does not work better..

Gtalk isn't working anymore too..

What if the framework service isnt listed in Manage Applications (all). This is on a rooted nook running stock 1.1.
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
are you telling that's normal on stock rooted nook 1.1
[Nook Color General] tmason68:
that's not what I am saying. I am saying I cannot install from the market and I don't even see the google framework listed under manage applications with the all filter selected

oh sorry, so you have the same problem ..
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
As i live in france i don't care about B&N app and shops i consider upgradding to froyo on emmc.. It will resolve my problem i think?
[Nook Color General] JSweetman:
Possible solution

Same issue here. Color Nook v.1.1 rooted with Autonooter 3.0.0.

Market was working fine, then stopped. Returned to stock, then rerooted. Market worked for 10 apps, then stopped again. Clearing all cache did not fix. No sign of Google Services Framework in app list.

However, I found Download Manager and DownloadAdmin in the apps list and cleared the data for those (cache had already been cleared -- I used Gemini App Mgr for one-button clear-all-cache). Market is now working again.
[Nook Color General] chibucks:
for those that have nook color tools, here's what seemed to work for me:

nookcolor tools > all settings > manage applications

click "All"

scroll down to "Google Services Framework" and clear cache / data

scroll down to "Market" and clear cache / data

reboot... and go into market.
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
I've seen this suggestion multiple times, but I don't see a place to click "All" after choosing Manage Applications. I'm presented with a list of most of my applications, but Google Services Framework and Market are not listed. I assume clicking "All" somewhere would make them show up, but I don't see anywhere to click "All." Where is that?

UPDATE: Okay, I figured out I have to "filter" by "All." Did that and Market appeared in the list, but not Google Services Framework. (I've had no issues with Google Talk, by the way.) Several other Google items showed up: Google Apps, Google Search, Google Talk Services, and Google Talk Storage.

Cleared cache for Market, rebooted. Still can't download. Others have mentioned doing this in Titanium Backup, but I've never really used it (I have it.) and am now sure where I should be doing this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
Nothing's working. I've cleared cache/data in Market, Download Manager, Download Admin... in both Nook Color Tools and Titanium Backup... rebooted and nothing.

Any other suggestions? Anyone know why Google Framework Services doesn't appear anywhere?
[Nook Color General] GMPOWER:
Google Framework Services is not included in AN3 for B&N software version 1.1.0. Clearing Market/googleframeworkservices cache/data is used to show more apps in the Market place, not fix download unsuccessful issues. Clearing the cache/date has been more of a fix for Froyo, the fix for B&N software version 1.1.0 was to install the updated Market place.

Can you give me more details on what you have done leading up to the problem. I can’t just randomly recreate the problem on my own. Did you fully register the device before applying AN3? Can you check your device info to make sure that it is still fully registered? Can you access your account in Youtube and Gmail? Does the Market place start normal? Can you search for apps in the Market? What happened when you download an app, does it show the progress bar? Does it fail halfway through or not even start to download? Does it download successfully but not install?
[Nook Color General] bullfrog527:
I"m having the same problems, except I'm on 1.2 with MN. I have flashed dalingrin's OC kernal but other than that I am stock. Whenever I try to update or download apps, it says "download unsuccessful," I have full access to the market, but it's not the froyo market. That isn't that big of a deal.

I have tried the clear cache/data for the market, google services framework, download manager and download admin
[Nook Color General] gsutton:
May I ask where the filter selection is found? I see it nowhere in NookColor Tools. Thanks.
[Nook Color General] GMPOWER:
The clear cache/data for the market/GSF is just to show more apps in the market, not to fix the download issue. Is the “download unsuccessful” happening on every app that you try to install? The problem with MN on 1.2, is that sometimes the script to fix the download issue does not apply correctly. Do you have “Root Explorer,” or any other app that can fully access all root folders? If you do, look in the folder “/cache” and see if you see a folder “/downloadnull,” if you see the folder, delete all contents inside of "/cache/downloadnull". Could you download the attached file, and flash it with CWM? The file is just the script that should have installed the first time you tried. Let me know if it works or does not work for you.

You need to have softkeys running, and then just press the “menu” button of softkey to access the filter while inside of manage applications.
